Kilian Stetzing (early fifteenth century)
Kilian Stetzing (early fifteenth century) OM. German Franciscan friar, probably from Pommern near Greifswald. He might have entered the order in the Stettin custody. He studied in Greifswald, Colchester (Essex), and Erfurt (where he read the Sentences between 1430 and 1432. At Easter 1433, he matriculated at the University of Erfurt as baccalaureus sententiarum under Johannes Bremen. Not known to have finished the doctorate. After ca. 1435, when he is mentioned as bachelor at the Erfurt theology faculty, he disappears from view. He is definitely a follower of the so-called `via antiqua' (Bonaventura, Scotus), yet in conscious opposition to Hus, he takes a modern position regarding the question of universals.
